The North American steel industry has developed necessary tools to meet code requirements for acoustic separation in cold-formed steel frame construction in response to changes in the National Building Code of Canada (NBC). The code now considers additional paths for sound waves, including flanking transmissions through shared ceilings and floors.

Cold-formed steel framing has been a viable construction material for more than a century, but some professionals may not fully understand all the benefits of its use. One of the major advantages is maximizing the timeline of a building project and saving money—even during a harsh Canadian winter.

Last month, the 2016 edition of the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-formed Steel Structural Members was published. This specification was the result of work by both the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Committee on Specifications for the Design of Cold-formed Steel Structural Members and the CSA Group Technical Committee on Cold-formed Steel Members.
